So far, this was the book highly recommended by all my friends who have taken the USMLE step 1. Its a good reviewer only if you've read the basic books while you were studying in class, but if you dont understand the basics,this might not be the book you should start with. The outline form is awesome especially for your last days of review before the exam.

This is THE book for preparing for the USMLE Step 1. Its new systems-based organization make it an amazing product for reviewing for the test. Write in it and refer to it as you go through your first and second years in medical school, and you will be glad to have done it.

This is a great comprehensive review that gives you information in the most concise and easy to remember format. Be sure to check the associated web page for the errata though.

This is a great book and is ALL YOU NEED, in addition to a QUESTION BANK. If you put in the time to learn this material and learn from your mistakes on missed questions on your question bank, you will do well on the actual exam. What I did was after reviewing each section, taking practice sets of questions and writing the things I missed into the margins in the appropriate sections of the book. Reviewing the material several times is key. I have very short attention span and probably did not study quite as hard as many of my classmates but with this book and a question bank I scored ~230. Good Luck!
